I am having such a blast in the classrooms in Rocklin. We got a grant through the City of Rocklin and the Department of Conservation. 2000 Rocklin elementary kids are getting the chance to particiapte in our environmental lesson, "shop" for treasure in the truck, and then make art. There are always a few kids that just make me grin ear to ear with how they respond to our program. Highlights of my class visits include:
The 3rd grade boy who spontaneously gave me a hug and said, "Thanks for letting me do art with your neat stuff!"
The reCREATE "groupies" who come and talk to me at lunch time and want their experience to last longer. Love these kids!
The girls who used their materials to make me a gift for the truck.
The Giant Thank You card I got from the kindergarten class at Stoneridge after my visit.
I had a nice meeting with the Assistant Superintendent with Roseville City School District. He had some great ideas about how to move our project forward. It is not exactly the best time to start our program, with the economy being what it is... but people are embracing it anyway. If we can make it now, we will be GREAT when the market turns around.
